Trumpeter

[Dizzyfugu]

I am not certain if this is fake or real (found it on FlickR first, but then on scalemates, too) - in both cases, it's nice: mecha ordnance from Trumpeter in 1:100 scale for/from the Chinese SF movie "The Wandering Earth".








Great additions to my 1:100 Macross kit collection, esp. the Destroids!

Interesting, because Meng apparently have this on the horizon in 1/35;

Meng also seem to be releasing the same 1/100 kits; http://www.moxing.net/2019/0304/9819.html

That would look good in any armor collection, wearing any nation's colors.  Hmm...perhaps Nova Anglia or Tsingtao

[Dizzyfugu]

It's probably the same CAD design, just scaled up/down?

Something really new: an 1:72 F-106B:



Announced for April 2018. according to HLJ.com (https://hlj.com/product/TRP01683/Air). Pricey, though, at around EUR 30,-. 

Cheapest (UK supplier) one of these I've seen (and ordered) at £24.50+free postage:

Anyone have any idea if the trump 1/48 Mi24 is worth £50 more than the zvezda option....? Seen the zvezda for just over £30 but trumpy one is around £85 at the moment.....🤔

I like the look of the Object 490b.

My LHS has one of these.  I am very tempted.  But the price...

[Mossie]

The Kondensator is a beast.  Trumpeter have quite a slew of 1/35 Soviet armour projects now.

I like the look of the 490B too, can't imagine it'll be cheap either.

Like an S tank on steroids!

It seems to have two lots of tracks, one behind the other, very weird.

Very scifi-ish; scale-o-rama it into 1/350 or 1/700 (or smaller) and turn it into a BOLO.

Yep, mobile as hell.  It had only two crew, sat in the very rear, everything else was separated into compartments for survivability.

Now the idea of a 1/35 Kamov Ka-58 can't leave my head...

Maybe Takom'll do one to go along with their 1/35 Apaches

Twin hole F-106 looks good ! I'm going to have to look into that one.
